"What Is Freedom In Times Like These?" a spoken word & music performance featuring actor/musician Rod Campbell & cellist Margaret Maria & myself .

Set 1: Actor / musician Rod Campbell and pianist Bill Gilliam perform poems and excerpts by authors Constantine Cavafy, Adrienne Rich, Rabindranath Tagore, Samuel Beckett, Zbigniew Herbet, Rumi and Gilliam, expressing the difficult paths we take to preserve our rights and freedoms and the need to celebrate their continuation.

Set 2: The Marbyllia duo — cellist Margaret Maria and myself — will chart a new direction, exploring the freedom of musical expression through Portalz landscapes, performing cello and piano improvisations with spacious electronic sounds and rhythms. Rod will join us for the finale to enrich our textures of sound and poetry.
